Graphite brushes for the new pattern blend modes

I think I’m doing something wrong. I’ve tried your brushes, but I don’t get anything close to the preview.
they completely lack the texture part and the graphite block does not even have pressure, it’s just full on or nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: also tilt doesn’t seem to change the size.
I’m running the latest stable Krita version (5.1.1)

Ok I thin I sorted it out myself. Clicking on a different texture and then back to the original one did bring back the textures. They were much bigger though, so I had to tweak size a bit, but they are not much closer to your preview.
Tilt is still not working, but that might be my tablet (XP-Pen Innovator 16). Tilt works fine in general though.

@hulmanen AS a subtract and multiply mode fan. I am starting to create new things with new blending modes. What would you be interested in? by the way very good brushes and ideas. Thanks.

But I still have the doubt, what can give me these new blending mores, that i can’t see yet.


I think i get the same with subtract and a bit of tweaking in parameters.
The strength i changed to linear preset. i need to investigate this more

You can see how subtract here can be pretty simmilar.

@RamonM for me, the big difference was that subtract leaves midtones in the brushstroke while the height modes work more with “pure” grain, so it feels more like, for example, a pencil would to me. You can see this in the examples you provide - the subtract example has more of a soft, gradient-y feel.

Now, whether that matters is a separate issue of course :sweat_smile:

think it helps when you do find something is off about a brush and just futzing around with different presets helps. I do think lineart is pretty unique

These feel great. I didn’t realize I missed drawing overhand.
